From the lyrics, this song is deceptively simple - same old thing: alienation, regret...
By the melodies, the lyrics take on a different portent. It goes to show, to appreciate the complexity and magic of some music, you really need to hold off from trying to "understand" a song by it's lyrics, and not read them until you've fully "digested" the music.
This is a marvelous song.
